Warm weather, calm and clear water turquoise water, and brilliant white sand as soft as flour: it's really no wonder La Pelosa, located on the Italian island of Sardinia, has consistently been deemed one of the best beaches to visit in the world.

But such breathtaking beauty has come at a price: since it's easier to get to than ever before, and with more people being inspired to visit the beach due to Instagram photos, it is now overrun with tourists.

To counter the ever-growing influx, CNN reports that officials in the town of Stintino (about two miles away) have decided to start charging visitors to the beach an admission fee. Mayor Antonio Diana has yet to confirm the exact admission fee, but it's expected to be about €4 ($4.40). As many as 6,000 people visit the beach during the day in the summer months, according to Diana, and that the plan is to cut these numbers to about 1,500 visitors per day.

Here's what a visit to the famous beach is like.

La Pelosa is located at the northwestern tip of the Italian island of Sardinia.
